yes that is what demux_lavf should have set, ive changed nBlockAlign to 1
now and am waiting for feedback on what effect that has, its unclear if 0
is valid and 1 should work fine too in theory, its dwSampleSize which
switches VBR/CBR behavior

I do not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your
